A funny, intimate and heartbreaking portrait of one of the world's most beloved and inventive comedians, ROBIN WILLIAMS: COME INSIDE MY MIND is told largely through Williams' own words, and celebrates what he brought to comedy and to the culture at large, from the wild days of late-1970s L.A. to his death in 2014. The film explores his extraordinary life and career, revealing what drove him to give voice to the characters in his mind. With previously unheard and unseen glimpses into his creative process through interviews with Williams, as well as home movies and onstage footage, this insightful tribute features in-depth interviews with those who knew and loved him, including Billy Crystal, Eric Idle, Whoopi Goldberg, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Pam Dawber and his son, Zak Williams. "Sharp-edged, humane, and deeply researched" (Variety) and "Entertaining [and] inspirational" (Film Threat), COME INSIDE MY MIND showcases the lightning wit and comic genius of Williams as well as revealing a touching portrait of a man who wasn't happy unless everyone else was having a good time. Co-presented by the DOC10 Film Festival.
